Hailed by The Economist as the "the most influential pastor in America," and by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, the bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life expounds on the profound origins of Christmas, describing it as an opportune time to welcome peace into our lives. In his powerful yet compassionate voice, Pastor Rick Warren sounds the clarion call to "remember the reason for the season," taking readers back in time to the most wonderful story of all -- the birth of the baby Jesus. When he was just a small boy, young Rick asked his parents if they could celebrate Christmas with a birthday party for Jesus -- and the tradition began that the Warrens have upheld for over fifty years. Now through stirring imagery and compelling personal insights, The Purpose of Christmas honors the significance and promise of this cherished holiday. Pastor Warren encourages readers to identify and confront what drains peace from their lives. Warren explains that the way to respond to these peace-robbers is to learn how to surrender to God's will and not feel defeated or discouraged when life does not go as planned. True peace of mind is found by having an unshakeable faith in God -- knowing that his empowering Spirit will guide his children through life's challenges. Beautifully written, The Purpose of Christmas will stir readers to honor the true significance of Christmas and to nurture God's gifts of love and peace in this world. | | | Features: | |

 Purpose of Christmas by Rich WarrenNov 14, 2009
I am not sure there is anything new in the book, but I haven't finished reading it yet. We are using it for Sunday School, and my lesson is from the chapter on celebration. I purchased the book used with a 2 to 4 day delivery. The condition of the book was as stated, and came in a timely manner. The shipping materials were good too. Would purchase again from this vendor.
Great shipping!Oct 05, 2009

A wonderful and meaningful listen which puts the real meaning of
Christmas in perspective as opposed to all the commercialism.

I read this book in one sitting! I couldnt put it down. It is more that I expected to learn. Very refreshing. I bought several of these and mailed as christmas presents. I also purchased another of the author's best seller books. I Highly recommend this book to believers and non believers.
Good bookFeb 01, 2009
This book is great! It was very helpful for me to pause and understand my feelings towards Christmas and understand again the true meaning of Christmas. It has changed my thinking in life crisis, daily living and learning to let go of the past problems. It is a book that should be read again around Christmas time, it is a good read, short and to the point.
